I nearly feel sorry for the dupes who bought the original iPhone - I wonder
how many are used as door stops now?

A few colleagues have them.  Mind you, they were sold to them for £50
or £100 when the original owners bought their iPhone 3G, so they're
cetainly not door stops and sell for silly money on ebay.

The original iphone is an excellent phone, and the 2.0 firmware update give
them a masssive boost. With mobileme and exchange support, the original
iphone is still  a reasonable choice for anyone looking for a smart phone.

Why are business users not snapping them up in drives then?

Yeah I'm gutted that I sold my original iPhone on eBay for more than it cost
me to upgrade to the 3G version.  I'm distraught that both the original and 3G
versions have been a joy to use and continue to get used far more than any
previous phone I have owned.  I thank you for your concern at this difficult
time.

Just make sure you take your charger with you at all times, recently
went on a trip to Spain, a friend's iPhone3G had flattened its battery
within a few hours (it was switched off on the plane apart from a few
demo videos and trying to use the maps) he hadn't bought the charger as
he knew he had an old iPhone charger in his apartment - mistake - it
wouldn't charge using the "old" charger, meanwhile I didn't bother to
even take a charger as I knew my phone would last five days easily.

That's one way to prevent running up a massive data roaming bill.

Yup, same as the n95, apart from the n95 had a worse battery life.

Yes, a colleague has one of those and has to cart around a PowerMonkey
to keep it going ...

The similar is true of pretty much any phone, is it not?

Well no actually, few come with such onerous 18 month deals...

Oh and the original iPhone was over-hyped and under-spec'ed.

£30/mo seems quite standard (and less than my n95 cost), but the
cartoon suggested that they wanted the most expensive package on a 2
year contract.

With an operating system that put the competition to shame. Windows
mobile/pocket? nokia symbian os? Are you having a laugh? Have used them both
extensively, and they dont hold a candle to the iphone OS.

I brought my mates old iPhone - seeing that i am on o2 - i just out my
sim in the phone and away i went and i love my phone! it has my iPod
and phone in one, the reason why many people dont like it is because
all the chavs cannot record their happy slapping and upload to
youtube!!!!

And none of them match BlackBerry OS.

At least, not for any serious/business use anyway :-)

I find the v2 software is very good for exchange, it really works very very
well, as does mobileme*.

*mobileme doesnt quite live up to its hype yet, but thats a matter of time.
